    He's saying that php connects differently to mssql (I think MSSQL is what you mean by SQL). See this link:
    http://www.webcheatsheet.com/PHP/connect_mssql_database.php
    If wordpPress has some plugin to connect to mssql databases, you must install it, otherwise you can change the code in wordpress download. Another alternative can be to export those MSSQL databases and import in MYSQL.
    regards :)

    you have to port it because it most likely have different table name/structure... create a stored proc that will do the job
